Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) Review

Tom Cruise is back as Jack Reacher, this time in an adaptation of the eighteenth book in the Jack Reacher series, ‘Never Go Back’. The first film was an awesome and underrated action flick with solid performances and an enthralling mystery, how does this one compare?

Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) Review

By balancing the camp with a cool setup and great CGI, the fifth(!) film in the Resident Evil film franchise might be the most fun entry yet.

London Has Fallen Review

Out now on DVD and Blu-ray, the sequel to 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen performs the old sequel trick of doing exactly what the first film did, only bigger.

100 Words or Less – The Mechanic

Title – The Mechanic Released – 2011 Director – Simon West Starring – Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland Review – The Mechanic is much better than it has any right to be.

The Trust (2016) Review

“You know the drill.” Here we are once again; staring into the abyss that is Nicolas Cage’s VOD career.

100 Words or Less – Assassins

Title – Assassins Released – 1995 Director – Richard Donner Starring – Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Julianne Moore. Review – Assassins is awesome. It’s a classic, Stallone action film with the added bonus of a camp, over-the-top Antonio Banderas. They play rival assassins both out to kill 90’s computer whiz Julianne Moore. It’s a classier film than you first think, thanks […]
